BREAKING>>FBI raids Trump’s Mar-a-Lago

[corbe]

@Hoodat

I would LOVE to know what Cruz's honest personal opinion of that was. I would almost be willing to bet he loved it.

   He had no qualms with Sabo's depiction of him, he commented on it at the time.

[libertybele]

@Hoodat

Not to worry. Trump isn't like most former Presidents. He is a career businessman and multi-billionaire that has whole teams of lawyers on retainer.

They are trying to pick on someone that has the ability AND the will to fight back. He also has better lawyers.

I'm not so sure about that.  Trump had Giuliani as an attorney.  He was terrible.  If that's the kind of lawyers that comprise Trump's legal team, he's in trouble.  As for Trump being a multi-billionaire, I think that would be disputable.  Multi-millionaire, I think is more like it.

I believe Cruz's comment was something to the effect that the one thing wrong with Sabo's picture of him, was that he didn't smoke cigarettes.

Exclusive: Warrant Shows DOJ, FBI Waited Several Days After Judge Approved to Conduct Mar-a-Lago Raid
Matthew Boyle
12 Aug 2022
Washington, DC

The warrant that authorized the search of former President Donald Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago shows it was issued by U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart on Aug. 5, 2022, at 12:12 p.m.—nearly three full days before the Justice Department and FBI conducted a raid to execute it.

The raid did not occur until the morning of Aug. 8, 2022, when federal agents from the FBI arrived at Mar-a-Lago to execute the search warrant. ... Breitbart

BREAKING>>FBI seized classified records from Mar-a-Lago during search of Trump residence

[Mod5]

Seems I am attacked by both a poster who calls me a name then by a moderator who rebukes me rather than that person when I called him out on it.

You guys I had though are better than that but are seemingly degrading into TOS.

@IsailedawayfromFR

I saw a personal attack.  I called it out.  But I should not have singled you out with a ping without a full investigation.  And for that I apologize.  Please accept my regrets.

To everyone, please no personal attacks.

What other 'conclusion' did you expect?

Over a thousand posts on a fast-moving developing story that is to be litigated?

We've got at least a half-dozen lawyers and another half dozen who understand the politics of it.

Hold on now... I did not call you a name. I called your comment a name, and rightly so... But I do not, as a matter of course, make it personal. Show me where I called !YOU! a name and I will happily and publicly apologize.

iT'S A DONE DEAL, ALL DOCUMENTS WERE DECLASSIFED WILE HE WAS PRESIDENT VIA EXECUTIVE ORDER. TRUMP CHECKMATED THE DOJ THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK FOOLISH. It might be a good idea  for the DOJ to read these before executive orders before making them themselves look like a fool.

There is no administrative process requirements for the President to declassify documents. I other words it only requires a simple witness.

I too posted and watched the Bongino video; however, it was my take that while they may have nothing, they are going to make it into something. They aren't adhering to any laws or protocol, otherwise, they wouldn't have orchestrated the raid on Mar A Lago.  They had gone through the documents at Mar A Lago months prior to the raid. The raid was for drama and to sensationalize the event and to plant whatever evidence they'll need to make their case stick.

Hillary had documents and they didn't raid her home. They want to prevent Trump from running in '24. Just my opinion @yodaspock

[roamer_1]

I think he's got dirt. Pretty substantial dirt. And I think it's probably the only reason he's alive right now.

Paul Sperry | FBI agents who raided Trump under criminal investigation by John Durham…

Posted by Kane on August 13, 2022 3:22 am

NEWS JUNKIES -- CHECK OUT OUR HOMEPAGE



DEVELOPING: Sources say the FBI agents and officials who were involved in the raid on former President Trump’s home work in the same CounterIntelligence Division of the FBI that investigated Trump in the Russiagate hoax and are actively under criminal investigation by Special Counsel John Durham for potentially abusing their power investigating Trump in the Russian fraud and therefore have a potential conflict of interest and should have been RECUSED from participating in this supposed “espionage” investigation at Mar-a-Lago.

But my beef wasn't with you at all.  It was with whoever played "MOD 5" than morning.  Bush league bullshit!

You really believe they care about looking  stupid? ALL they care about is their "AUTHOR-A-TAY". They get to play dress up and carry automatic weapons like real soldiers,and almost never face anyone else that is armed.

No.  Actually, @IsailedawayfromFR provided a much longer back and forth than any of us do with @roamer_1
because well, he's an 'unmovable' force. 

Those who have been around since "The Arrival" know not to 'waste' the effort.  It's best to agree to disagree.

Now, Isailedaway knows too! It should have ended there. It WOULD have ended there.

Each of those are qualities I admire:  a person willing to engage, and a person unwilling to compromise their standards.  Personally, I don't have a problem with either poster.  I have seen a lot of posters here beat up on Roamer, and I have seen a lot of posters let their emotions get the best of them.  We are all human.  Forgive and forgive.

@corbe  has it about right, except in two things:

The post I reacted to was a taunt, and I had been trying to be nice, because Cyber wanted the hi-jack ended. So I had reason to be unreasonable... Even if it wasn't wise... Or elegant.

And secondly, @IsailedawayfromFR 's reply to my post did not directly call !ME! Horseshit... He said I described myself... Which does call !ME! horseshit indirectly... Which also called me 'pure and simple' too BTW... A neat parry, but the faulty 'YOU' was there - So the mod made a good call. I thought it a legal call on a pretty modest infraction. Probably more designed to derail the continued hijack or influenced by it.

Had Isailed said 'Some people' instead of 'you', it would have been a legal move with the insult one step removed.

So a good parry, with a flaw that got a handslap.
A good call by the mod, plain on its face  - We all know not to make it personal.

And it was a hi-jack
Just like this one.

Go ahead, blame us for your own shortcomings.

So you're saying it was aliens?

Definitely real key-limes. No fake liquids are used when I make my pies.  Never.  What's the point then of homemade?

Well I don't tend to believe meme-world. I didn't believe half the crap all y'all did.

But Tumpy is a con. And a fairly good one. And he's played hardball business games too.
That he looked for and found leverage would not be unlikely in the least.

And that they played this 2-bit hokey search - Which they had to know was a bad move... Nobody moves on an ex president... Nobody blatantly uses the government to directly attack their opponent... If for no other reason that it is terrible optics. Optics that Tumpy will take full advantage of, squeezing every single drop - They just gave him a butt-ton of his favorite kind of ammo...

So that they played this 2-bit hokey search card, says they're desperate. It just stinks of it.

I disagree on that point.  Trump never campaigned as a Conservative or a Swamp Drainer.  People who thought they identified with those things simply attributed them to Trump because they liked Trump.  Trump was being Trump, period.  You knew what you were getting.  Divorces, bankruptcies, Clinton wedding photos, Reagan critic, and all.

I like Trump because he gave it right back to the DNC press.  I liked his foreign policy moxie.  But at no time did I ever believe him to be a Conservative.

Brilliant tactical move by DOJ on selecting statutes for the search. None of the crimes cited require the documents to be classified. Any claim by Trump that he declassified the documents is irrelevant. I’ll discuss at 7 am ET on

Brilliant political move.  This is all 100% politics.

Oh he plays his charisma... That part is right.

But he is definitely a con. He's a chaos con. He lives to piss everybody off, and follows through with a martyr play - Just about every time. And he has done it all the way along. Long before his political career.

Everyone feels sorry for all the flak he takes, but I don't because I know he is a pig in sh*t. He LOVES this kinda thing. And often, mostly, he causes it on purpose... He likes to cause the meltdown - And it IS funny... But I think he does it because people that are out of their minds don't think very well.

Not to mention that sometimes something is as real as the sun in your eyes to one person,and for whatever reason,another person just can't see it.

This ain't math or science we are discussing here,it is OPINIONS,and like buttholes,everybody has one.

Although I do suspect some posters here might have two. Just saying.........

Former President Trump's lawyer certified in June that no classified material remained at Mar A Lago

 Former President Trump's lawyer certified in June that no classified material was still at Mar-A-Lago, two sources with knowledge of the investigation tell Fox News.

Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigations executed a search warrant of former President Trump's Florida estate on Monday and seized items which include 11 sets of material that are listed as classified.

Trump said after the Warrant was publicly released on Friday that the documents taken by federal agents were "all declassified."

Trump's lawyers previously held a high-level meeting with people from the Justice Department and the FBI, which the former president briefly attended, but it's unclear if the letter was signed during the meeting.

Lawyers for former President Trump could face serious legal consequences if they knowingly gave false information to law enforcement.

Fox News' Bill Mears contributed to this report.

Former President Trump reacts to White House claim that it was unaware of FBI raid beforehand

Former President Trump reacted Saturday to the White House saying it was "not aware" of the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago.

"The 'White House' just announced that it had NO KNOWLEDGE of the early morning RAID on Mar-a-Lago, or the break in of Melania’s closets, my safe’s, or the secured and locked storage area where unclassified documents were safely held, and which the FBI knew of, was shown, and made recommendations that another lock be added (which they cracked, but not with the safecracker that they brought with them!). Does ANYBODY really believe that the White House didn’t know about this? WITCH HUNT!," Trump said in a Truth Social post.

Department of Justice has really ‘gone out on a limb’ on Mar-a-Lago raid: Former DOJ spokesman


“If they do not get what they are looking for or what they are trying to sell to the American people, I don’t know how Merrick Garland remains Attorney General after this November,” Former DOJ spokesman Ian Prior says. “Especially if, as we expect, Republicans take the House of Representatives.”
